Live-in care is one of the most popular alternatives to residential care. It allows individuals to stay living in their own homes, close to their family and friends. Staying in a familiar area and being surrounded by personal belongings can be reassuring and comforting, especially later in life.
There are many benefits to live-in care, which is why it is such a popular choice for those needing assistance. Live-in carers can provide 24-hour support and companionship, as well as help with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning and personal care.
